Will we play baseball in heaven?

quote from Gordon MacDonald: 

"When I was a child, I had a Sunday school teacher who was talking about heaven one day. And she said, in heaven, everything's going to be perfect. There's going to be no sin. There's going to be no tears. 

And I raised my hand.

I said, Ms. Cummins, will we play baseball in heaven? 

She said, well, I don't know, Gordon, but I'm sure that Jesus will arrange that if you'd like to play baseball.

So I said, well, then tell me, if we play baseball, every time the pitcher throws a ball, it'll be a strike. And the batterer will always hit it for a home run, and the center fielder will always catch it for an out. How does this work? 

And she said, Gordon, that's the stupidest question I've ever heard.

And some of the theologians at Denver Seminary, when I told that story, said, that was a brilliant question. That's a six-year-old describing one of the most complicated spiritual truths there is."
